Miss Cleomonte's Slave

Chapter Twenty Seven

Aguy..need ko ba din siya tingnan? Baka mautal ako..

"Fighting with her was like trying to solve a crossword
And realizing there's no right answer.."

And just like what they did. I also sang my part while looking at her na para bang ipinapahiwatig sa kaniya ang kanta.

"Regretting them was like wishing we never found out
That love could be that strong.."

Sabay sabay ulit naming kanta. Napangiti pa ako ng mag tugma ang pag papalit namin ng lyrics kahit hindi namin plinano.

Remembering her comes in flashbacks and echoes - Monique

Tell myself it's time now gotta let go - Keoni

But moving on from her is impossible - Me

"When we still see it all in our head in burning red
Burning, it was red.."

Hindi namin sinasadyang matugma sa mga kaganapan sa buhay namin yung mga lyrics ng kanta pero siguro ay tadhana na ang may gawa nito para maexpress namin yung mga katagang hindi namin masabi ng harapan sa kanila.

"'Cause loving them was red."

They are literally Red.

The song ended at rinig namin ang hiyawan ng mga tao na nanunuod. Sabay sabay kaming nag iwas ng tingin sa mga babaeng nag papagulo ng aming sistema at bumalik na sa back stage.

"That was..unexpected and intense." Komento ni Keoni at nginitian kami ni Monique.

"It was." Sagot ni Monique at tumili bago kami niyakap na dalawa ni Keoni.

"That was so awesome! Ang galing natin grabeee!" Pag palakpak palakpak pa ni Keoni habang nakangiti lang ako ng malawak sa kanila.

"Basta kapag nanalo ka manlibre ka ha. May bayad kaya ang pag kanta ko." Pag bibiro ko kay Keoni at pabiro siyang siniko.

"Sureee. Yun lang pala eh. Kapag nanalo." Sagot nito at tumawa kaya napatawa na lang din kami ni Monique.

"Sige na mamaya na ang daldalan need mo pa mag palit ng evening grown. Gora bebe kabogin mo silang lahat!" Monique said and push Keoni towards the contestants dressing room.

"Sa tingin mo ba nahalata nila na sa kanila natin kinanta yun?" Monique asked and I shrug at her.

"Bakit mo kasi pinaltan yung lyrics eh." Reklamo ko at pinitik siya sa noo.

"Sorry na. Na distract ako, ang ganda niya kasi eh." She answered and pouted at me kaya napailing iling nalang ako at hindi sumagot.

'Cause, that's the reason why I changed the lyrics too.. not just because she looks beautiful but because the lyrics suit what I feel for her...

"Yieee congrats galing galing talaga ng bebe namin!" Puri ko kay Keoni habang nag lalakad kami papalabas ng auditorium kung saan naganap ang pageant.
